Core Values
The Scriptures
We value and affirm the Bible as the written Word of God, and our guide for developing and maintaining our relationship with God and each other.
Grace in Action/Mission
We value the uniqueness of every person as a deliberate and special creation of God. We appreciate that our shared brokenness unites us in our common need, and because of the grace that we have received, we seek to extend grace and love to everyone.
Unity in Diversity/Fellowship
We value ministry together; functioning with a team spirit; practicing open communication and transparency of purpose; and growing into a consistent and practical manifestation of God’s Kingdom.
Living Faith/Worship
We value a dynamic and passionate relationship with the living God drawing us to: share His forgiveness and love; delight in interactive prayer; and show our faith in practical ways.
Kingdom Building/Discipleship
We value God’s intention to establish His Kingdom by transforming people into Christ’s image. We are therefore committed to seeing intentional growth and development within individuals and our local and global communities.
Using Gifts/Ministry or Service
We value the expression of the gifts that God has given to all people. We will therefore foster an attitude of motivated and enthusiastic service by encouraging people to discover how God has gifted his church through them, and equipping them to serve in the ministry for which God has fitted them.
